To all whom it mar concern:

Be it known that I, IZYGMUNT" GADOMSKI, ZIOIUZQH of Poland, andresident-of'Jersey City,in=the county of Hudson and State-of New Jersey,have i-nvented'c'ertainnew and useful Rin Holders-for *Pencils, of whichi 5 and this pin passes also through the lower the following is aspecification.

This invention relates to improvements "in pencil-holders,-and more,particul'arlyf to a novel ring-holder for 'lPllGllS, and" the "like,

and it'is 'thefpri'ncipal objectofthe invention to provide a holderadapted to'se'c'urely hold aipencilinlplace 'during its use and toallowa holding of the pencil on the finger when not in use withoutinterference wit-h the other occupations of the fingers of a hand, thusproviding a device which does away with the necessity of searching for amislaid pencil or the like consuming considerable time.

Another object of the invention is the provision of a ring-holder forpencils allowing a convenient adjustmentjof the ring to any size offinger.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a ring-holder forpencils with which a clip is combined for holding pencil and deviceattached to the pocket of a person, if this is desired.

, A still further object of the invention is the provision ofa holderfor pencils having substantially the form of an adjustable ring and onewhich allows a folding of this ring against the pencil when carried onthe person.

These and other objects and advantages of my invention will become morefully apparent as the description thereof proceeds, and will then bespecifically defined in the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawing, forming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 1 is a side elevationof my improved ring-holder for pencils and thelike on an enlarged scale and attached to the finger of a hand inwriting position of the pencil.

Fig. 2 is a side elevation of the ringholder.

Fig. 3 is an end view thereof. Fig. 4 is a top plan view of my improvedpencil-holder. o

The holder comprises a split sleeve or socket having upper parallelflanges 11 and 12, and a lower, rearwardly extending bot-tom element 13trough-shaped in crosssection and presenting a support for a pencil 14or the like. The extreme outer end of theelement 3 is folded upon itselfto form aclipl5 with an outer enlarged and rounded end-16. 2'

Between the flanges 11 and 12 a pin 17 is transversely passed throughboth flanges,

flanges: 18, 19of a ring generally indicated "20, and of a construction'more fully to :be

described hereafter. In this manner the -fla'1iges 18, 19 are pivotallyheld between flanges lland 12 they'have lower rounded lips 21 :and'rearwardly extending lips 22.

Lips 21 and 22 have comparatively sharp lower edges adaptedto engage andcut somewhat into the material of the pencil in either posit-ion of theholding-device, to hold the pencilto the device when it is used and tohold it in place thereon when not in use.

The ring member consists of two bands 23, 24, the outer one, 24 beingprovided with a segmentally formed slot 25, and a plurality of holes 26,while the inner one, .23, has its free end angularly bent and passedthrough the slot 25 and formed into a grip bottom element 13 and socket10, and if now the ring is attached to a finger and moved forward, thesharpened lower edges of its flanges 21 will engage and sink into thewood of the pencil and hold the parts in position. The ring is thenadjusted to the size of the finger by the proper operation of handle 27to depress the inner member and move it with its prongs or teeth 29 intoengagement with the openings 26. If the device is not in use, the ring20 is swung about the pivot point 17 into the position indicated inbroken lines in Figure 2, in which the lips 22 will engage the wood ofthe pencil and hold the same in position in the holder. The clip 15, 16is used in the ordinary well known 7 and of its minor details withoutdeparture from the scope and spirit thereof as defined by the appendedclaims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Let ters Patent is:

1. Ring holder for pencils comprising a socket split to form upstandingflanges, a trough-shaped rearwardly extending body element formed withsaid socket, and a ringshaped holder for a pencil pivotally securedbetween the upstanding flanges of said socket.

2. Ring holder for pencils comprising a split socket, upstanding flangeson said socket, a trough shaped, rearwardly extending member formed withsaid socket for supporting a pencil, an adjustable finger ring pivotallyattached between said upstanding flanges, and means on said ring forengaging the pencil in either position of the ring With respect to thepencil.

3. Ring holder for pencils comprising a socket, flanges connectedtherewith, a transverse pivot pin, a ring composed of an outer and aninner member having flanges secured by said pivot pin betweensaidflanges, means for holding the outer and the inner members of saidring in their adjusted relative positions, and a pair 01" lips on saidflanges adapted to engage the pencil in either position of the rings tothe pencil.

4. In a ring holder for pencils of the class described comprising a'pencil rest and clip, a ring composed of two parts, an outer part havinga segmental slot, and a plurality of perforations therein, and an innerpart having its end extended through the segmental slot and fingersformed at the edges of said inner part to grip over the outer ring, andteeth formed with said fingers to engage the holes in said outer part,and pencil engaging lips on said ring parts.
